2009 NYU MRSEC REU @ New York University
Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) fellowships are awarded to undergraduates from four-year colleges and universities for participation in a ten-week summer program designed to provide unique research experiences, professional development, and increased awareness of materials science and engineering. Each student performs research in one of the innovative research projects that probe fundamental aspects of experimental and theoretical colloid science to develop principles for the fabrication of materials ??? from the colloidal to macroscopic scale ??? through manipulation of shape and choice of processing protocols, or, from one of the seed areas. The program is interdisciplinary, combining chemistry, physics and chemical engineering to examine forefront topics including:
* Ordered Non-Crystalline Materials and Dental Applications
* Processing and Packing Protocols
* Particle Assembly with Controlled Interactions
* Particle Assembly with Controlled Geometrics
The program is interdisciplinary, combining chemistry, physics, and chemical engineering to examine fore-front topics, including colloidal assemblies, biomolecules and polymers, crystal growth and design, and molecular monolayers
